    There should be a new stat category. Luck. Because putting the bat on the ball isn't a skill. It's all luck.

    Not really. Your argument is that players are not necessarily skilled but lucky.

    This year's Reds team doesn't have as many wins as the 2010 team ended with.

    So are home runs....very often home runs are a product of a missed location and since the is do defense against the pitcher throwing to his location...the hitter is lucky the pitcher missed his spot.
